I have anxiety to the medical related things.
When I am about to check my bp , I suddenly feel adrenaline rush and I my heartbeat increases too fast due to fear .
I saw that before checking bp my heart beat was 70-80 but when I see on bp machine it rushes to 120-130. And I see a sign of irregular heartbeat on my bp machine .
Is this due to my anxiety with bp machine?
Bp generally between 120-140/70-90
Had a ecg and echo after covid in June 2021 and all was fine that time .
